Feeding Guidelines

Ryegrass Hay is a suitable feeding hay for rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas and degus.

Small pets (like rabbits, guinea pigs, degus and chinchillas) are herbivores that thrive on a plant based, grass-led diet. Adequate forage consumption is essential and should make up most of your small pets diet (about 75-85%).
